Woah, wasn't expecting a Nick crossover! Been following them since the escapist period as they got the zombie site back moving off the ground only for corporate to do what corporate always does, leading to origin story of second wind with the talent from escapist sharing same life raft. Keep up the gd stuff! (I'm bad with compliments, just assume I'm saying all the best ones lol) ------------------(can't paragraph on phone browser sorry!)---------------- Terminally online crypto fascists are a sad relentless lot who rarely ever engage in good faith, speaking as a terminally online hyperfocsed student of modern radicalisation pipelines. An effective tactic so far other than ghosting is something like out-trolling them first or so sharply they don't know what else to do beyond a weak emergency squid ink non-sequitur either way. - (They seem unable to do insults properly, mayhaps from zero social curiosity so you can easily out-insult them with minimal research/observation) - Cos otherwise they just end up soaking up your time and mental energy spinning cyclical amnesia alongside concern-trollong etc - time isn't valued the same so the losses aren't equal. Also I got no issue using "gamer" as perjorative, am one too, am tainted to the bone with cringe....only difference is I got like real problems to worry about in real life to care, and much worse vices to fix lol
